I just thought it might be cool to have a topic for coaches and wrestlers to say who their most positive influences as wrestling coaches have been. I think some people might be surprised at how highly regarded some coaches are, even though others don't like them. PLEASE DON'T USE THIS TO BASH OTHERS. If you have something negative to say, do it on another thread please.
I've been lucky to have some of the best. Bobby Stein and Gary Harding were my kids club coaches in Salina. Mike Schauer was the best H.S. coach I could have asked for at Maize. Wayne Peterson and Bob Smith were great coaches for me at the college level. ****, with these great coaches I should have been a lot better!
Have at it.
